    If you watched the 12 hr of Sebring you saw several drivers getting violations for speeding in Pit Lane (one even had 2!). This new product being designed in Germany will be used in AMLS and Formula 1 next year to put a stop to this problem.

    Seems like the pit lane speed limiter works REAL well in the McClaren. Just ask Heikki Kovalainen. Or Fernando Alonzo.

    At Sebring the speed gun was a guy sitting in a lawn chair with a speed gun. He was between pit lane at the start finish line. He sat in the sun all day long in a fire suit. It must have been hot out there. I stayed in the shade as much as possible and I was hot.
